In this Broadcast Award-winning, BAFTA and Emmy Award-nominated entertainment show, Taskmaster tyrant Greg Davies (Man Down, Cuckoo), with the help of his loyal assistant Alex Horne (The Horne Section and the show’s creator), sets out to test the wiles, wit and wisdom of five hyper-competitive comedians.
Comedians that have risked life, limb, and dignity in the hope of making the Taskmaster proud so far include: Frank Skinner (The Frank Skinner Show), Mel Giedroyc (The Great British Bake Off), Romesh Ranganathan (Asian Provocateur), Hugh Dennis (Outnumbered), Sally Phillips (Bridget Jones’ Diary), Rose Matafeo (Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner 2018), and Russell Howard (The Russell Howard Hour). Unaware of what awaits them in each wax-sealed envelope, only one competitor can become the victorious owner of His Royal Task-ness’ golden head and be crowned the next Taskmaster Champion.

    I remember as a toddler I loved reading more than anything else and you could find me (quite literally) inhabiting the bookshelves of my local library or sitting as still as a statue on whatever object my parents happened to put me on, apparently that's how they lost me every now and then because I was so still they couldn't tell me apart from the scenery. But according to my parents when I got restless they would put me in a cardboard box and give me crayons.

    Having worked with kids before, my initial idea was really mostly "A bunch of different papers and maybe fabrics with different nice textures, colours, patterns, etc, that the child is allowed to cut into pieces and then glue together again" cause that one works for almost any kid of that age (also, in this case, I wouldn't even have to be the one to clean up the whole mess afterwards for once), but when I saw that tray I knew it would work out even better. Brilliant instincts and a well-deserved first place.

The rubber duckies were a stroke of genius, but making a video for the child to watch was a very pragmatic way of going about the task and I have to respect that.

    Kind of surprised nobody thought to just make an ice cream sundae for the kid. It's got to take a toddler longer than five minutes to try and eat a big bowl of ice cream, and if they get full partway through, you know they're going to make a huge mess out of what's left. That's got to count as engagement.
